Mexican street food near St Leonards
How our Mexican street food works in St Leonards
We work to your trader pack and site rules, from arrival times to waste. It suits village fêtes and summer fairs and open days and community events, with burritos, tacos and vegan tacos.
Summer fairs around St Leonards are often run by volunteers, so it helps to agree the pitch, power and water early. You will know what’s included before booking: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.
The menu, item by item
Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, filling and toppings in a bowl.
Tacos

- Vehicle access before and after the event
- Flat, firm ground
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Planning for every diet
Every guest is catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included. To get it right:
- Ask for allergen information at each stall
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Ask traders about packaging and waste
- Put picnic tables near the traders
We keep in touch with your traders’ contact on the day on any changes.

St Leonards questions
Do you come to school fairs around St Leonards?
Yes, with the school’s permission and a pitch the truck or trailer can reach. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you bring your truck or trailer to Avon Heath Country Park?
It depends on the park’s owner, who would need to agree to a catering vehicle on site. Ask them first; if they say yes, we will send what they need from us.
How spicy is the food?
It’s up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down and leave our area tidy. Tell us the venue’s rules on waste and clearing up and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can we book you as a trader?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll check availability.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes, a taco bar is one of the ways we serve. Tell us about your space and numbers and we’ll recommend how to serve.
How long are you on site?
It depends on your event. We agree arrival, service and pack-down times with you to suit your day.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run behind, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Christmas markets in St Leonards trade in the dark from about 4:05pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us about the event, the crowd and the pitch.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we are ready before the busiest hours.
- At close, we pack down and tidy up.
Before we arrive
- Find out what power and water are available
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Give us a contact for the day
